The station was originally named North Malvern railway station, but was renamed soon after opening, amid fears regarding the name's similarity to North Melbourne station.[2]

The line between Kooyong and Gardiner stations was duplicated in 1955,[1] with duplication to Heyington occurring in 1957.[1]

A signal box is located on Platform 2, at the Up end of the station, to control the Glenferrie Road tramway crossing. Boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at this level crossing in 1985.[1]
